It's so wonderful to hear the pride and love in your voicetyping when you talk about Emmett and Matilda, Hec. Makes me warm and fuzzy. Also? Emmett is hysterical.

Daisy, wow! I'm very happy and excited for you. Turkey and the Greek Isles are my destinations for a dream trip, so maybe someday I'll join you!

I've never heard "swoll." Odd.

I would love to visit the Greek Isles! My hairdresser goes there often. If she comes across a really good package, I'll let you know.

I love ShrunkenOldMan!Emmett!

Ok. Off to deliver sympathy card to a friend. Check y'all later!

Oh, Stephanie, that's scary. Hang in there, and go to the ER if you feel that's best. You know best. Really.

Daisy, how fun! YAY!

"Mind your peepers and respect your shrunken elders!"

BWAH!

Kristin, how are you feeling?

I made Emmett turn off the TV and now he's reading The Great Brain while heaving great sighs that he's been cut off from the electronics.

Then I get to take him out of the house to do laundry and shopping and listen to him complain bitterly that he's not at home eating ice cream and watching The Simpsons.

To keep myself entertained I'll concoct a series of retroactive punishments for all his complaining and announce randomly, "Oh, and because you're being a total pill, you can't play on Nintendo for the rest of the day."

"What? When was that a rule?"

"I just made it up."

Then, of course, he'll let Matilda sleep on his chest for an hour and I'll have to give him ice cream and we'll watch The Simpsons.

Thanks everyone for the support - Ellie's fever hasn't gone any higher. I'll take her to her doctor tomorrow unless her fever goes higher. FOr now, we are eating animal crackers and drinking 7-Up.

"I just made it up."

You're so mean!

Sounds good.

David! You need to come back to Chicago so we can go here: [link]

I've lost 4.25 lbs! Approximately! I mean,it's not a digital scale but the line was on the 3/4 mark.

This has been since October 1 and I've exercised (even if it's 10 minutes) almost every day since then. My clothes don't really feel looser but weight loss. And it's been really easy.

I've been using exercise tv on ON Demand and also exercisetv.tv. Nothing major and sometimes I've done some of the "sexy" work outs. So I can do this easily at home when I ever I want.

go you! I've been a lazy sack lately, I need to get back in shape like woah. My goal is to start krav maga in the new year.

You know what's really funny? Calling my brother in the middle of a Vikings/Bears game. He is really freaking hysterical. He'll be in the middle of a sentence, then start shouting at the television.
